Chapter 59: Appointment at the Brothel(2/2)
Only now did Mu Jianming realize that Shen Ao would definitely let him attend Meng Changxun's banquet, regardless of whether it was him or Shen Xiyao who showed up at that time.
Somewhat discouraged, he returned to the front hall alone. Hu Shichang was still waiting. When he saw Mu Jianming coming in, he heard a lowly voice that didn't deserve a beating.
"How's it going? Changshi Shen, I told you that Tianxiang Pavilion is a good place. Have you decided? Do you want to go and see it?"
"What time?"
"good!"
Hu Shichang took action.
"Refreshing. As expected of the Queen of the General. Two days later, at sunrise, Tianxiang Pavilion will be waiting for the permanent attendant. Once the matter is done, I will take my leave."
After saying that, he stopped lingering and turned around to leave with Yiyi and his guards.
Mu Jianming watched the graceful and graceful Yiyi leave without blinking an eye.
After all, beautiful women are pleasing to the eye, so it wouldn't be a waste if you don't look at them more.
Yiyi seemed to feel something, looked back and smiled slightly.
As soon as Hu Shichang stepped out of the gate of Jibei Hou Mansion, a man wearing a merchant's clothes approached him.
"I've met the young master."
Hu Shichang hummed and asked, "How?"
The man took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Hu Shichang.
"Yesterday, since we arrived at the Jibeihou Mansion, we have kept track of all the people in the Jibeihou Mansion who have gone out. Unfortunately, there are very few people who have gone out. They are all domestic servants responsible for purchasing and doing things. There is nothing wrong with them. Although someone from the Hou Mansion came to visit him, his status was not high and he was not able to enter the house. He only left a name note.
Although there was some vacancy between the time when the prince left and when we took office, we did not see the Marquis of Jibei or Shen Changshi return to the house after we took the place. Judging from the time, the important personnel of the Jibeihou's house should not have left. Pass."
Hu Shichang nodded, looked at the records, suddenly let out a light sigh, pointed to a record and asked, "What's going on?"
The spy dressed as a vendor stretched his head and took a look, and said: "After we arrived, we asked the people around us. Just before we arrived, Princess Zhu'an had just left. We checked with the people around His Highness, Zhu'an The princess should have nothing to do with this matter. But just in case, I arranged for someone to follow him. I received a report half an hour ago that there was nothing unusual in Prince Lu’s Mansion and the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and neither the master of the house was seen coming or going."
"Why is there still something going on with the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Along with Princess Zhu'an, there is Chu Qingying, the daughter of Chu Rupeng's house."
Hu Shichang frowned a little and turned to look at Yiyi.
Yiyi shook her head.
"I have tried His Majesty, and it is true as he said, nothing unusual happened."
Only then did Hu Shichang feel relieved.
"Okay, let's call all the people back. We don't have to guard the Jibei Marquis Mansion anymore."
"Sir, do you believe what His Highness says?"
Hu Shichang sneered.
"Huh, I don't believe it!
But we have no clue. Logically speaking, if Chen Ruiyuan really had something to hand over to the Jibei Hou Mansion, then Shen Ao or Shen Xiyao would definitely send it to the palace as soon as possible to report it to Emperor Ming Wei, but the Shen family did not There was no movement. Maybe the Shen family's ancestors and grandsons saw through my arrangement.
